FITMENT & COMPATIBILITY

Q: Is the Overhead MOLLE Panel System compatible with Bronco Raptor models?

A: No. This product is not compatible with Bronco Raptor models.

Q: Is the system compatible with both hard-top and soft-top Broncos?

A: Yes. The system is compatible with both hard-top and soft-top models.

INSTALLATION

Q: Is drilling or cutting required during installation?

A: No drilling or cutting is required. The system installs using the Bronco’s existing factory mounting holes.

Q: Do I need to remove the factory B-pillar brace?

A: No. Only the plastic B-pillar trim cover needs to be removed. The factory B-pillar brace remains in place.

Q: What tools and hardware are included?

A: The package includes:

• 4 mm and 5 mm Allen wrenches
• 10 mm/13 mm wrench
• Matching screws
• Washers
• Lock nuts
• Two blade fuses

Q: How many people are needed for installation, and how long does it take?

A: The installation can be completed by one or two people and takes approximately 30 minutes.

Q: Should all screws be fully tightened during the initial assembly?

A: No. Do not fully tighten the screws while assembling the brackets.

Install and align all components first, then tighten every fastener once the complete system is correctly positioned.
This small step can save you from the classic installation experience known as “Why is the last hole half an inch away?”

Q: What should I do if the sun-visor plastic cover will not close after installing the front bracket?

A: Slightly trim the interfering plastic area to eliminate the gap and allow the cover to close completely.

Q: What happens if the left and right brackets are installed in the wrong positions?

A: If the left and right brackets are reversed, the vehicle roof will not close properly.

Please confirm the bracket positions before fully tightening the hardware.

Q: Does the package include all required mounting hardware?

A: Yes. All brackets, screws, washers, lock nuts, and fuses required for installation are included.

POWER ROUTING, USB & LIGHTING

Q: How is the power routed?

A: Complete power-routing instructions are provided in the product user manual.

Q: Why does the USB charging port stop working after the vehicle is turned off?

A: Because of the product’s power-supply design, the USB port does not remain powered after the vehicle is shut down.

Q: How do I operate the built-in light?

A: Use a short press to turn the light on or off.

When the light is on, press and hold the switch to adjust the brightness.

Q: What should I do if the light bar does not power on after wiring?

A: Check whether the included blade fuse has blown.

If the fuse is damaged, replace it and test the circuit again.

Q: Are there any important wiring-safety precautions?

A: Yes.

Make sure the vehicle engine is turned off while completing the wiring. Do not allow exposed metal wire terminals to touch each other, as this may cause a short circuit.
Electricity is useful. Accidental smoke is generally less useful.

Is there a plan for 2-door?

Two questions.
Why didn't you guys go with black hardware (bolts nuts etc?) everything else looks nicely powder coated.
What is the weight capacity? I mean I don't plan to sit on it, but that grab bar in the back needs to be able to withstand some jerking around by my rear passengers if it is going to be useful at all.

Is there a plan for 2-door?

A 2-door model would require separate measurements, roof-clearance checks, mounting development, and load testing.

We’ve already passed the request to our product team, though—there’s clearly interest from 2-door owners, and we appreciate the feedback.

Regarding the hardware color: The current production version uses silver hardware. We agree that black hardware would blend in better with the powder-coated structure and give the system a cleaner, more integrated appearance. We’ve shared this suggestion with our product team for future production updates.

Regarding weight capacity: The MOLLE panel is rated to hold 55 lbs of evenly distributed cargo. The B-pillar support structure, which supports the rear grab-handle area, has been tested to withstand a 220-lb pulling force without bending.

So yes—the rear grab handle is designed to handle normal passenger use, including grabbing or bracing during bumpy rides. It should not, however, be used as a pull-up bar, seat, or recovery point.
